I presume the first subnet adress is 10.1.0.0 and that .1. in the third
octet is a typo?

What do you see in the Network Neighbourhood window? Just the local
workgroup?
What are the 'domain master =', 'local master =', etc. lines in
smb.conf
on the various machines?
What's in /opt/samba/var/locks/browse.dat and wins.dat, etc. Perhaps not
post all of them here, but are the domains and master browsers mentioned
in those files correctly?
What are the permissions to reach (and read) the browse.dat and wins.dat
files? I once had a problem where this all went wrong because onto the
user 'samba' could read those files (and the normal users, who own the
smbd processes couldn't)?
